Yoshiki Kishinuma had found himself yet again falling asleep in class, it's not like he did it on purpose or anything, if anything he tried to do the complete opposite, since the teacher had caught him falling asleep in class many times previously. But everything went blurry in the midst of the weariness as his eyes slowly drooped down.

Whack!

"Ow! What the hell!" He whisper-shouted and looked behind him to see a certain bluenette looking at him with a cold hard glare, holding the weapon she hit him with-a pencil.

"Open your eyes and pay attention, Kishinuma-kun!" She whispered back with a disapproving look on her face.

"Quiet, you two, pay attention to the lesson!" The teacher pointed at the board harshly with her intimidating long red nails.

"Yes, sorry sensei, it won't happen again." Ayumi replied politely like the class representative she is, and then glared at Yoshiki before looking back at the board as the teacher continued the lesson.

Yoshiki mentally groaned.

Now she's going to hate me more than she already does..

He then glanced at Satoshi, feeling envious of the brunette.

He actually pays attention, he has a good reputation, and all the girls love him. No wonder Ayumi has a crush on him and likes him more than me..

His eyes wandered from Ayumi, Satoshi, to Naomi.

But he likes Naomi-san..It's so obvious. I just hope Ayumi won't get too heartbroken when they become a couple..

Yoshiki then shook off the thought.

If she does, I'll be there for her.

The bell rang.

Yoshiki got out of his seat and followed the other students into the hallway and knew what was going to happen next.

"Kishinuma-kun!"

Yoshiki sighed, "Hm?"

He turned to face the upset class rep.

"What's it with you falling asleep in class again? Are you going to sleep late?"

Heh. She almost sounds concerned for me, but I better not get my hopes up.

"Yeah, I stayed up last night so I didn't get much sleep. But don't worry about me Shinozaki, I don't plan on doing that again anytime soon."

"Okay.."

"You better get to class, class rep shouldn't be late to her classes." He teased.

"Same to you, then!" She then walked off, her blue pigtails swinging.

She's too cute..

He decided to stop thinking about her and get to class before he was late.

"YES!" Satoshi stood up with his controller in the air in victory.

Yoshiki groaned, "Don't get too cocky, I beat you all the other times."

"I'm still better at you at Call of Duty though." Satoshi grinned.

They were at Satoshi's house in his bedroom, playing video games since it was the weekend.

"Nope, not a chance."

Satoshi raised an eyebrow, obviously not believing what he'd said.

"Prove it, then."

"Eh, I'm kind of sick of playing video games at the moment, can we just talk?"

"How do I know it's not just because you know that your going to lose?" Satoshi teased.

"Because it's about Shinozaki."

"Okay, okay, I believe you." Satoshi chuckled, Yoshiki had told him about his crush on her a long while ago before the charm, and unfortunately everyone knew, except for Ayumi-of course.

Satoshi sat down next to him and took out a notebook and put a pencil behind his ear.

"Now now, what are you looking for in a soulmate, Mr. Kishinuma?" He said in a womanly voice, like a matchmaker.

The two boys burst into laughter and Yoshiki then shook his head, a grin still on his face.

"Very funny, but this is serious."

Satoshi nodded and put the notebook and pencil on his nightstand.

"So, what about Shinozaki?"

"I love her, I would die for her, but she hates my guts.."

"Well that's how confusing girls are for you." Satoshi grinned.

"Easy for you to say! You grab a girls breasts and she still obviously has a crush on you!"

"Eh?!" Satoshi blushed furiously, "You still remember that?"

Yoshiki rolled his eyes, "How could anyone forget? Naomi's reaction was priceless, yours was too. I bet you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"WHAT THE HELL!" Satoshi yelled, his face redder than Yoshiki's shirt.

"I take that as a yes?"

"I would never do that to a girl!"

"So you would do it to a guy?" Yoshiki raised an eyebrow.

"NO! You know I like girls!"

"I don't know, you do invite me here a lot."

"Because we're friends!"

"I don't see you hanging out with Morishige, though."

"He's always with Mayu!"

"Suuuure."

Satoshi threw a pillow at Yoshiki's face.

"Enough about me, back to you and Shinozaki. I'm sure she doesn't hate you, she just..hates your reputation!"

"Like that's any better!"

"I'm just saying, Shinozaki likes guys who are nice, faithful, and loving. She doesn't seem like the kind of girl who'd trust someone so easily."

"Or would like a former delinquent.."

"Key word: former. If you prove to her that you have changed, and your not the cold hearted rebel she thinks you are, then she'll acknowledge you in a good way."

"But how do I do that?"

"Quit watching her from the sidelines. Go up to her, and say what you want to say to her."

"What if she doesn't want to give me the time of day?"

"Don't let her have a choice, you want to get out of the friendzone, but you're barely even in the friendzone!"

"Great, nice way to make me feel better."

"Hey, just trying to help. You shouldn't rush. Try to get to know her better, show her that you're interested. Girls don't like desperate guys."

"Isn't the way your explaining to me kind of desperate?"

"No, you just have to do it in a teasing, forceful way. Make her so embarrassed and annoyed with your corny words and actions-"

"Wait, what?" Yoshiki looked at him in disbelief, "How the hell is that going to make her like me better?"

"She's basically tsundere. She won't break out of her shell unless you make her. The girls a tough one, I'll give you that."

"Pfft, well, you got her to fall for you easily."

"H-Huh? Shinozaki doesn't like me, I would know, and she knows I like Naomi! ..Right?"

"Eh..Right.." Yoshiki didn't want to discuss it further, since the topic made him uncomfortable, he sometimes felt like he loathed Satoshi because of his blood boiling jealousy everytime Ayumi talked about him dreamily, but he knew he didn't.

"I still don't think this is going to work." Yoshiki said.

"Fine, keep getting scolds instead of gentle hugs, romantic kisses-"

"E-Eh?" Yoshiki blushed, "You're scaring me Satoshi, you're starting to sound like Seiko."

"I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult." Satoshi laughed.

"Don't think too much into it." Yoshiki laughed too.

"Onii-chan!" Yuka's head popped in the door, "Dinner is ready!"

"I'll be there, Yuka." Satoshi turned off the gaming console, "You going to have dinner here?"

"Do I wanna look like your boyfriend in front of your parents?" Yoshiki laughed, "I'll have dinner at my place, but thanks dude. And I'll..consider your advice. Where did you come up with this advice anyway?"

"Watched a painfully long chick flick with Naomi one time.."

"Ouch.."

Yoshiki flopped onto his bed after drying his hair with a towel after a shower and began to think about Satoshi's advice.

Could it really work? I'd better prepare myself for a bunch of slaps to the face..

Then he thought about if it really worked, and he and Ayumi could be together and he could marry her one day. He smiled.

It'd be so worth it.

What's up my Ayushikians! :3 This story is going to be an AU, all of the characters survived Heavenly Host Elementary. Make sure to R&R, tell me what you think of the story, what should happen in the future, and if I should continue this. I'm going to put out two chapters and then if I get enough reviews/rates I'll continue. Anyone else feel for Satoshi when he had to watch that chick flick with Naomi? XD Ciaoo!
